I've made this laser block, it creates a laser beam when powered by redstone. The beam is supposed to be 100 blocks long, when I power it the beam doesn't even show up.

 

heres the onNeighborBlockChange function:

public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block block){
	System.out.println("X:"+x+" Y:"+y+" Z:"+z);
	if(world.isBlockIndirectlyGettingPowered(x, y, z)){
		System.out.println(true);
		int meta = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z);
		ForgeDirection dir = ForgeDirection.getOrientation(meta);
		BlockLaserTileEntity te = (BlockLaserTileEntity)world.getTileEntity(x, y, z);

		for(int i = 0; i==100;i++){
			int tx = (dir.offsetX*i)+x,ty = (dir.offsetY*i)+y,tz = (dir.offsetZ*i)+z;

			System.out.println("X:"+tx+" Y:"+ty+" Z:"+tz);

			world.setBlock(tx, ty, tz, gammacraft.LaserBeam);
			world.scheduleBlockUpdate(tx, ty, tz, (Block)this, 10);

		}


	}
}

it prints the x/y/z and when there is a redstone signal, it prints true. It doesn't print tx/ty/tz because it would spam the console with 100 lines but it doesn't. I have no idea why this isn't working.

-sidenote this is just a prototype, I will add extra bits to it like it stops when it hits a block.

i == 100, eh?

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

yeah, it loops for 100 blocks in a direction and sets the block every loop

fyi, the block update is for my block class, in the updateTick it sets itself to air

I would look at that loop definition again. You have a mistake, evidenced by the fact that it is not spamming the console.

1.I did read his signature

 

2. for whatever reason, For loops haven't "clicked" with me yet, I've already seen that website, and multiple others yet I still have no idea why my for loops don't work. (I can do the var:array ones though)

And it didn't run, ergo something was wrong with it.

...*facepalms* I thought it was when it was supposed to stop

Lol, well it is, kind of. The condition is checked every single iteration, so think of it more like 'run as long as this condition is true' - once 'i' reaches 100, it WILL stop. You can have all sorts of conditions, initial states, etc., though a single incrementing integer is by far the most common. I highly recommend you find do some further reading / practice with for loops - they are very useful and one of the most basic features of probably every programming language.
